In vegetables, San Joaquin county stands
in competition with any of its sister
counties. Some of the squash are simply
immense, some of them two feet in diam
eter. A full line of vegetables, such as
Irish and sweet potatoes, beets, onions,

hibit is the very excellent display of silk,
which is exhibited in cocoons and in reeled
silk. This is worthy of special mention
and special reward. The silk besides be-
ing OF the finest quality, is most attractive

not fail 10 inspect it. The major part of
the display is made by Mrs. Henry UT,
but there are other exhibitors. There are
fifteen pounds in her exhibit, all of which
